PARIS - Admirers from around the world are paying tribute to Princess Diana at the Paris tunnel where she was killed in a car crash 15 years ago.

Tourists prayed in front of the Flame of Liberty monument to Diana above the site. Flowers, photos and messages were piled around.

British visitor Patricia Williams said Friday that Diana "became an icon. She was a very beautiful woman and things have passed on now. But Charles is now happy and I hope her sons have come to terms with it."

Princess Diana and her partner Dodi Al Fayed died when the Mercedes they were in plowed into a pillar in the Alma Tunnel on Aug. 31, 1997. French police said driver Henri Paul, who also died, had been drinking heavily and was speeding. The Associated Press

The Queen was front-and-centre last night for the opening of the Paralympics, along with Prince Edward and his wife Sophie, Countess of Wessex, Prince William and Kate and British Prime Minister David Cameron and his wife Samantha.

Notably absent from the party was Prince Harry, who has kept a low profile since the nude photo 'scandal'.

Speaking of the Duchess of Cambridge, Kate has topped Vanity Fair's International Best-Dressed List.

Prince Harry also made the list. (No word on whether there's also going to be a best undressed list.)

In a video on the Vanity Fair website, fashion and style director Jessica Diehl says: "Kate Middleton is one of the most approachable beautiful girls one could ever dream of."

The photo above, for example, is from a Facebook group called "Support Prince Harry with a naked salute!" As of Tuesday around noon, the group had 15,831 members.

A similar phenomenon is happening on Twitter, through the hashtag "#salute4harry".

This must be a good-news/bad-news prospect for the Royal Family. On the one hand, Harry is obviously popular enough that thousands of people are willing to drop their drawers in support of him (though we're not exactly talking about an endorsement from the likes of Nelson Mandella here).

On the other, one can only imagine that the Queen would take a very dim view of an online campaign for her grandson, led by hordes of out-of-the-closet nudists.

Further support for Harry is evident in the 3,600 complaints that the UK Press Complaints Commission has reportedly received over the Sun's decision to publish the naked photos. According to the Guardian:

The Press Complaints Commission received a deluge of complaints over the weekend about the Sun's front-page splash on Friday. Most of the 3,600 complaints had been received by Tuesday afternoon over an alleged invasion of Prince Harry's privacy by publishing the pictures.

That growling you hear is the knot in the collective Royal Family stomach
tightening.

You won’t see it on their faces, of course, which will remain stiff upper
lip as it does through most internal messes. But, having been sucker punched
once already this past week, they know they are exposed for another potential
blow if more pictures emerge from Prince Harry’s lost weekend in Vegas.

Stories have emerged in the last few days that suggest this Dirty Harry
episode will have a sequel, with more naked pictures and/or video showing up. After
all, who would believe there were only two (2) pictures taken of royal during
his early-morning strip billiards game?

There are reports that one of the 15 or so girls in the prince’s suite that
Aug. 18 night is looking for major dollars to tell her tale (the first ones
sold for about $16,000). Two others with pictures to sell already approached and
were turned down by a PR company. And now a celebrity blogger with Las Vegas
Review-Journal,
Norm Clarke, claims a source has a “gigantic development” coming from the Vegas
trip.

These may all turn out to be dead-end tattling, but it can’t help but keep
the Royal Family from a gnawing pit in the stomach.

As for Harry, he is paying for his sins in other ways:

-
There are reports that Harry’s most recent girlfriend,
model Cressida Bonas, has dumped him in the wake of the Vegas weekend. She was
with Harry and friends at the Necker resort in the British Virgin Islands just
days before the Nevada fling.

-
Harry is due back at his military base in Wattisham,
Suffolk, where he will be officially reprimanded for his behaviour out of
uniform. The London Sun -- the only British paper to print the naked Harry
photos (right) -- quotes a source saying that the prince will “be reminded that he has
overstepped the mark.” Another report says he could be grounded from flying
Apache helicopters should he bring any more discredit to the Army. Harry is
still expected to be part of a force heading to Afghanistan later this year.

-
No more social media for Harry, at least not on
Facebook. He had maintained a page under the name Spike Wells for some 400 ‘friends’
under maximum security settings, but that account has been terminated on the
advice of his private secretary Jamie Lowther-Pinkerton. Two of Harry’s close
friends, Tom Inskip and Arthur Landon, as well as one of security people, have
also closed their accounts. A few pictures from Landon’s page ended up widely
circulated last week detailing some of the partying that was going on at
Necker.

-
Prince Harry was expected to play a prominent role during the Paralympics, including representing the Queen at the closing ceremony Sept. 9, just as he did at the Olympics. The Telegraph reports that organizers no longer expect him to be around much. The official excuse will likely be military commitments, but there is no question his role as a Paralympic ambassador for Team Great Britain will only prove to be a distraction for all involved. Just as the naked Harry pictures were enveloping the internet last week, the Palace released a video of Harry talking about the Games (see video below).

-
Having already been told to ‘lie low’ by his father
Charles, he spent the weekend at Balmoral in the company of his grandparents,
Queen Elizabeth and Prince Philip. That must have been a little awkward, though
Philip must have had to suppress a grin or two.

Slowly but surely, Prince Harry's troops are rallying.

A friend of the royal, who was with him during the now infamous Las Vegas strip billiards party last week, has come out to attack the girl who sold her cellphone pictures of Harry sans shorts. His defence comes just as one British newspaper breaks with protocol to publish the now famous naked Harry photos, and word comes that more photos are being shopped around.

Arthur Landon, one of the Prince's millionaire buddies and Vegas party-mate, admitted the whole affair put a "dampener" on the post-Olympics holiday.

"I obviously think it is really despicable that someone would accept Prince Harry's hospitality and then take these pictures," he told the Daily Mail. "Some people have been hinting that it was one of his friends who took the pictures. But that is absolutely not true."

Landon's defence was followed by some emerging details of what Harry, Landon and a several other friends were up to before hitting Las Vegas.

According to the Telegraph, postings on Landon's Facebook page reveal that the group spent a week on Sir Richard Branson's private island of Necker in the British Virgin Islands, celebrating the birthday of Branson's son Sam.

It was clearly party time 20-somethings. Landon's luggage featured a gas mask and a 'Captain Britannia" costume. Another picture shows a fellow passed out in the sand, under a caption that reads: "The perfect start." The face is obscured, but the shorts were identical to what Harry was wearing in Las Vegas.

What he wasn't wearing in Vegas became an internet sensation and word is more pictures from the strip billiards game may emerge.

Max Clifford, one of the highest profile publicists in the UK, told the BBC on Friday that he was approached by two American women who claimed to be among the 15 or so that were partying with the prince and wanted to sell their photos. Clifford said he refused to represent them. The photos that appeared on TMZ.com were purchased for about $16,000 from the Splash News agency.

The focus of the whole episode has shifted dramatically in the last few days, from a debate about Harry's behaviour to a press freedom issue.

For four days, after the photos were splashed across the internet in the rest of the world, Britain's newspapers felt handcuffed by the country's privacy code and didn't print the pictures. The Sun tabloid in London finally broke ranks and published the pictures in their Friday edition (above) and their website.

The UK's Press Complaints Commission received more than 850 complaints aon Friday bout the Sun's front-page coverage, but said they had all come from the public, not Buckingham Palace or from Prince Harry.

A former Sun editor, Kelvin MacKenzie, backed the paper in thumbing their nose at the code.

"If Prince Harry with no clothes on in a Las Vegas hotel room
surrounded by one naked woman and a load of other people he has
just met in a drinking-stripping game is not a story then it is
hard to know what is," he told the BBC.

Former British deputy prime minister Lord Prescott vilified the paper, saying it showed "absolute utter contempt" for the law. It is an especially sensitive issue in the wake of the phone hacking scandal that exposed underhanded journalistic practices by Rupert Murdoch's News of the World and spawned the Leveson Inquiry.

"It is not about privacy," he said. "It is about money, money, money. And
they know that by exclusively printing the pictures, assuming they
are the only (British) paper which does, they will get everybody
buying the paper to see this."

MP Louise Mensch disagreed. "Prince Harry, inviting people to his room, did not have an expectation of
privacy," she told the BBC. "More to the point, you can't have a situation where our press as a
bloc is so scared of the Leveson Inquiry they refuse to print things in the
public interest."

The Palace, which asked the PCC to remind editors about protecting privacy (Harry was, after all, on a private holiday and in a private suite), tried to keep a distance from the Sun's move.

"We have made our views on Prince
Harry's privacy known," said a spokesman. "Newspapers regulate themselves, so the
publication of the photographs is ultimately a decision for editors
to make."

Another question emerging from all this is the role Prince Harry's protection officers, who were with him at last Friday's party. Should they have conficated cameras at the door of the suite? Or are they simply there to protect Harry from physical harm and not try intervene in his lifestyle?

One of Princess Diana's former bodyguards criticized the live-and-let-live attitude that appeared to shown by Harry's guards.

“The moment you invite unknown people into your hotel room there is a
question of invasion of privacy and as far as security is concerned it
is potentially dangerous," Ken Warfe told the London Evening Standard.

"If one of these girls had planted drugs
or had a knife rather than taken pictures then the officers would be in
serious trouble. There should have been better security."

As for Harry, reports are he is keeping a low profile. He went directly to Clarence House when he returned to London, which means he would have bumped into his father Prince Charles. The Mirror newspaper says Charles advised his son to lie low. Good luck with that.

Prince Harry’s weekend in Las Vegas was, according
to one royal source, all about “letting off steam.”

Turns out it was more about
‘landing in hot water.’ And Harry’s not the only one.

The Prince’s three-day orgy
of pools, parties and nudie pix has put the British press into a tizzy, mostly
because they have been forbidden from running pictures of naked Harry because of
a privacy code, even though the rest of the internet world has replicated the
pix many times over. The Sun tabloid is the first to break ranks, running the pictures in their Friday paper (with the headline: HEIR IT IS!), saying it is an issue about freedom of the press and "a clear public interest."

The 27-year-old prince is
back in London,
but the weekend wrap-ups aren’t over by a long shot, having spawned a whole
series of questions, Harry’s party habits the least of them:

1)
Though the Sun has finally decided to print the offending Harry pictures -- reportedly sold to TMZ for $16,000 by a partygoer -- it is facing some embarrassing questions over its first attempt to serve readers: They used an
intern to help replicate their own version of one of the forbidden pix (right). The
Sun “heir brushed” nude Harry with the help of picture editor Harry Miller and
an intern at the paper. They posed naked, with Miller holding his naughty bits
and the intern standing behind, just like the Vegas shot. The faux photo appeared online
briefly then was taken down amid a storm of Twitter posts about the sad life of
an intern and whether she was pressured into the shot. The Sun retorted that she was not “in any
way unhappy.”

2)
Why
didn’t Harry’s bodyguards take the cell phones from his guests when they came
back to his suite to party and got naked? One former royal protection officer
said they “have to look out for him” even in situations that aren’t physically
dangerous. One report said an officer made a half-hearted attempt to stop
picture-taking during the naked billiards game, but no cameras were
confiscated. While it may not be their job to tell Harry how to live his life,
it is widely acknowledged that Harry can be hard to handle at times. A review
of royal protection protocols will undoubtedly be on the agenda. Most of the
yelling inside royal walls is likely over this issue, not Harry’s behaviour.

3)
The
phone hacking scandal cast a media chill on anything that smacks of abusing the
right to privacy. The Palace acted quickly in having the Press Complaints
Commission advise newspapers of the code of ethics. But there are now questions
about whether pictures taken in his suite was really an invasion of Harry’s privacy.
After all, he invited in people who were virtually strangers. This episode will
fuel the fire on what freedom of the press means in the internet age. The test now will be whether the Sun's defiance of Palace wishes will result in a complaint to the PCC.

4)
Should
Harry just give up his royal title? It’s an interesting question. If his chances
of reaching the throne are remote (he’s third in line behind brother William
and father Charles), then why not just become regular old Harry, outside any ‘royal’
constraints? He could party all he wants and not have to put up with any
nonsense about embarrassing the Royal Family. One Guardian
blogger floats a compelling argument, though there’s not much chance of him giving up royal title. As one newsroom observer deadpanned: he would lose his best pickup line.

5)
What
does the Queen think? Does it really matter? She has shown no inclination to
scold her family in public and won’t in this case. But she might offer him some fashion advice.

08/22/2012

You
don’t mix Prince Harry, bikini-clad girls, alcohol, pool parties, strip
billiards, Las Vegas
and an iPhone camera into one boiling pot of testosterone and NOT expect some
fallout.

It
was all pretty innocent fun until TMZ.com published a couple of pictures of the
27-year-old bachelor royal in his birthday suit on Wednesday.
You could almost hear the clenching of jaws and butts in Buckingham Palace,
bracing for the outrage.

Scandal?

Hardly.
If anything, Prince Harry has been given the old nudge and a wink from the
majority of his countrymen -- even the British press, who are feeling somewhat constrained under pressure by Buckingham Palace.

Although pictures from the romp in his Vegas suite appeared in various forms around the web, they did not show up on any British news websites. Word is the Palace acted quickly to warn publishers that they would appeal to the UK's Press Complaints Commission, whose code of ethics states that it is "unacceptable" to photograph people in private places without their consent.

Already under pressure in the wake of the Leveson inquiry into the News of the World phone hacking scandal, the British press lamented their postion in the post-inquiry world while giving Harry plenty of ink in other ways.

Here’s
a bit from Dan Hodges in the Guardian:

"... I’m sorry, I just can’t get upset about it. Actually, if I’m really
honest my initial reaction was one of sneaking admiration: “What a lad. That’s
exactly how I want my princes to be behaving,” I thought to myself.

Of course I should really know better. And so should Prince Harry. After
all, the guy is 27 years old. He enjoys enormous privileges and a position of
significant responsibility.

But who am I kidding. When I was 27, that’s exactly the sort of thing I
was up to. Well, it’s the sort of thing I would have been up to, if I
could have used the chat-up line “I’m third in line to the British
throne.”

The females in the journalistic fraternity were equally admiring … here’s Victoria Murphy in the
Mirror:

Cue uproar about how the party prince has brought shame on the royal family,
how his behaviour is "disgraceful" and how he shouldn't be allowed to
cavort around indulging in "debauched" late night games of strip
billiards.

Oh, come on.

Isn't this exactly why we all love him?

Prince Harry has won the public's affections because of his fun-loving,
go-for-it attitude. We love him because of it, not in spite of it.

His antics in Vegas haven't hurt anyone. He hasn't been over there having
punch-ups, taking drugs or even saying nasty things about anyone.

He's just been joining in, doing what all his mates are doing (but lucky for
them no-one is interesting in seeing them naked) and having a good time.”

Tom Chivers in the Telegraph struck a cautionary note to the prince's supporters:

"It's absolutely fine to be going out and getting leathered at 27. It's
absolutely fine to be playing naked billiards or whatever. But by 27, if
you're a member of the Royal family, you really should have worked out
that you're really going to have to do it behind closed doors."

And what will the Palace think? So far, it has been mum, aside from
confirming that the nude male in question is indeed Harry (presuming that the
positive ID came from his only piece of clothing -- a medallion around his
neck). There most certainly will be questions about how much (and what kind of) protection is coming from his royal protection officers.

Harry headed back to Britain on Wednesday, ready to resume his military preparations before likely deployment to Afghanistan later this year. He will face a possible dressing down from his military superiors for conduct unbecoming for sure, but it would be laughable for his father Charles to lecture him, given his own indiscretions.

If they are wise, the Palace will remain tight-lipped, at least publically. This will only add to
Harry’s popularity.

Piers Morgan, former Brit tabloid man and now CNN's prime-time TV offering, couldn't resist tweeting: "I'm shocked and disgusted by the Prince Harry party photos in Vegas. Why the hell wasn't I invited????"

Ingrid Seward, editor-in-chief of Majesty magazine, sees no love lost for Harry: "Of course it's stupid, but it doesn't make people dislike him -- quite the opposite. It shows that he is a guy who gets into trouble and he's the one
people love to love. It could only happen to Harry -- but we love him
for it."

Yes, there has been the usual “monarchy’s
a waste of money” diatribes, but, coming off the high of a successful
Olympics, the tolerance level for Harry is high. This is not a transgression on the level of wearing a swastika to a party (for which he apologized in 2005).

And lets not forget he has the luxury of having an older brother (right) who fits a more traditional definition of royal respectability.

Alex van Straubenzee, whose son Thomas is a longtime Harry pal, told the BBC
that Harry’s royal value far outweighs any bare-bottomed behaviour.

"I know him to be a thoroughly normal, fun-loving but responsible and
caring young man and I should think any young man that is caught on camera who
is a celebrity of some type is easy meat regardless of whether it is true or
not," van Straubenzee said. "If you're in the public eye as he and
his brother are, then of course you're going to be worried about adverse
publicity but there's so much good that he does that it's the sort of thing
that people will know them for rather than a bit of high-jinks or fun when
they're on holiday."

We’ll leave the last words to the masses from reader comments:

- “Harry does his best to change the American perception of British men as
pasty, flabby, impotent homosexuals. What was he thinking ?!”

- “I
very much doubt the Queen will care (Navy wife, Navy mother, will have seen it
all) Prince Phillip will probably ask why he wasn't invited and Charles will
presumably be happy that his sons seem to have grown up to be relatively well
adjusted, odds stacked against them though they were.”

- “It all just adds weight to the republican argument so we
can get rid of these freeloaders.”

- “Ah for god sake he's no different to any other lad his age. So what
if he was playing strip billiards or whatever it was. It was in his own time n
of no ones business. To be honest the person who leaked the photos should be
looked down upon n prosecuted for breaching someone's personal space.”

- “If he was my son, or brother, I would be proud of
him. Especially knowing that he puts his life on the line for our freedoms. He
deserves his time of relaxation & fun. What should he be doing? Sitting in
a rocking chair, looking out the window of Windsor castle?”

- “I’ll admit when I saw the headline ‘prince Harry hanging
out in Vegas’ I was expecting a more mundane picture.”

- “Britain,
be proud of William & Harry. We Yank's are, and they're not even
US
citizen's. So......if you don't want them, than send them over here to live, as
we American's would be proud to have them.”

Prince William captained a RAF Sea King helicopter to the rescue of a Barrie woman vacationing in Wales on Monday. (AP)

Darlene Burton’s trip to the rocky Welsh coast was right out of a fairytale —
well, at least the part where she was rescued by a prince.

Prince William was the Canadian tourist’s knight in shining armour after she
slipped and broke her leg while crossing the rocks at a popular coastal hiking
destination on the island of Anglesey.

Darlene Burton, 58 (right), was hiking with her husband on an isolated trail near a
lighthouse when she fell Monday morning. The Barrie resident couldn’t move, so
her husband Lawrence Oakley found a local fisherman who called for help.

Because of the awkward location she was in, paramedics couldn’t get Burton
out by land. She was stuck — until the prince flew to her rescue.

When an RAF Valley Sea King helicopter arrived to take Burton to hospital in
Bangor, her husband Oakley said they noticed Prince William was the pilot.

“They all know up here that that’s his job,” Oakley said. “He assisted in
helping Darlene when they moved the stretcher out (of the helicopter).”

Relatives in Ontario were relieved there was a silver lining to Burton’s injury.

“She was in extreme pain and had been sort of trapped and unable to move in
the mud. Probably not the way she wanted to meet the Prince... but still,”
Oakley’s sister Patti Oakley Jameson wrote on Facebook.

“… Having the prince rescue her had to ease the pain somewhat! :)”

A camera crew from the BBC show Helicopter Rescue filmed Burton’s rescue and gave Oakley,
also a cameraman, a place to stay for the night, according to Oakley Jameson.

Burton underwent surgery — her leg was broken in a few places — and remained
in hospital Tuesday. The couple is scheduled to fly home Sunday.

Prince William has been stationed at RAF Valley on Anglesey since 2009 and
qualified as a search and rescue captain this past May.

It's been a busy several days for William, who last Thursday piloted a Sea
King to the rescue a 16-year-old girl who was floundering in Silver Bay near the
RAF base. She had trying to reach her 13-year-old sister, who was also having
trouble after being caught in a current.

The older girl was lifted to safety by the prince's helicopter crew while her
sister was helped to shore by a surfer.

The RAF refused to “officially confirm or deny” whether the Prince was part
of the Monday's rescue operation, saying they don't “normally discuss any
rescues.”

Prince Harry, perhaps missing the atmosphere of Olympic beach volleyball, enjoyed a pool party in Las Vegas over the weekend. (Reuters)

The Olympics seems to have stirred up some extra energy in Prince Harry.

Having spent two weeks in the royal glare as he bounced from event to event, the 27-year-old prince jetted off to Las Vegas over the weekend with a few friends and quickly made a few more as he mingled poolside at MGM Grand's Wet Republic.

For the most part, he was largely inconspicuous among the sun worshippers at Saturday's Wet Republic bash, especially since there was someone else close by also making a big splash -- Jennifer Lopez. She was hosting a party just metres away from his VIP bungalow at the pool (right).

Dressed in a a red flower-covered swim suit, sunglasses and white at, Harry cradled his glass of Grey Goose vodka and chatted with friends, both male and female. At one point, according to People, he jumped into a private pool next to his bungalow and floated around on a beach ball.

Girls, and even a few cops, stopped by for chats. "He looked right at home mingling with everyone, getting in and out of the pool and having a great time," on hotel guest told the Mirror tabloid. "He was getting quite a bit of attention from the ladies."

Another guest told People: "He definitely loved the attention, but he looked to be a gentleman with all the women."

The Daily Beast reported that Harry hit the craps tables later that night and spent the next day at the Encore Beach Club at the Wynn.

This isn't Harry first visit to Sin City. Last November he hit town for some parties during his two-month Apache helicopter training program.

Then, like now, he did not go about his business unnoticed. Not that Harry seemed to mind. He is very much at ease in a crowd and doesn't let his celebrity get in the way of a good time.

He also seems to understand that -- unlike less visible patrons --"what happens in Vegas, stays in Vegas" is a phrase that doesn't apply to him.

Prince William captained his Sea King helicopter crew in a rescue mission for an exhausted teen who was floundering in Silver Bay off the Welsh coast. (AP)

Some quick action by Prince William and his RAF helicopter crew resulted in the rescue of a 16-year-old girl Thursday evening.

The teen and her 13-year-old sister were body-boarding on Silver Bay, not far from the RAF Valley base in Wales where the Prince is works as a search and rescue pilot.

The younger girl ran into trouble with the riptide and her sister swam out to help, but ran into trouble of her own. Coastguards alerted the RAF and that’s when the Sea King helicopter captained by Flight Lt. Wales went into action, taking just 38 seconds to arrive at the scene. A winch was used to lift the exhausted teen from the choppy waters.

"She had scrapes, was very cold, shocked and had swallowed water,” one rescuer said. “She had been in serious difficulties and was very lucky."

Her sister had managed to get to shore with the help of other surfers.

“The prompt response may well have saved this girl’s life,” said Barry Priddis, the coastguard watch manager.

The teen and her sister were taken to a local hospital to be checked out.

Prince William has been involved in several rescue operations in Wales, where he has been stationed for a few years. He is due to make a decision this fall on whether he will continue to serve in the RAF or take up full-time royal duties. The most recent talk has been around finding a way to allow him more time for royal duties while still fulfilling his military commitment, perhaps as a helicopter pilot instructor.

UPDATE: NO VISITORS FOR PRINCE PHILIP

Prince Philip remained in hospital Friday, fighting a bladder infection and under strict orders to rest.

Reports are that no visitors are allowed, though he is keeping in touch with family by phone. The 91-year-old Duke of Edinburgh was admitted to Aberdeen Royal Infirmary on Wednesday, his third hospitalization since December.

He was in hospital for five days in June, also with a bladder infection, and over Christmas had an operation to clear a blocked coronary artery.
